Gana la Verde

Gana la Verde was a controversial game show which first aired in 2004 that promised the contestants (would-be immigrants to the US) legal help with getting a green card. There was a mild controversy when the advertising suggested that a green card would be the automatic prize for the victor. The events on the show, often testing a character's stomach or willpower, were similar to Fear Factor, another controversial game show that aired at the same time. As of this writing (Dec 13, 2004), it is playing on third-party Spanish-language channels in Los Angeles, San Diego, Houston, and Dallas.
